Preventing Grass and Weeds Between Paving

[cnnhardtalk]

Hi everyone,

Can someone advise me on how to prevent weeds and grass from growing between paving? Is there a chemical spray or powder I can use?

Prevent it..? Not going to happen..

It's a life time of weedkiller.. there are a few products available.. I use pave clear as an example..

Roundup and Bob's your uncle.

anything that is glyphosate based like "Banweed" or "RoundUp"

But you have to get in to routine, they will come up less over time but never stop completely.
Seeds in the wind and soil and all.

There are lots of ways. You can spray indiscriminate herbicide like roundup or banweed, pour boiling water over them throw black plastic over it for a few hours if there's sun etc.

also a mix of white spirit vinegar (higher acidity is better), salt and a bit of dish washing liquid
it has the added benefit of not giving you cancer after a few years like glyphosate

apparently diesel also works, but your paving will have a diesel smell for days

You’ll always have this. Just spray it a few times a year to keep it at bay.

Both of those worth surprisingly well but for the covering up to be effecting needs to be done for a few weeks.
